… tries to overhaul elections. This will certainly wind up in court. Every democratic sates AG will be filing suit.

Hegseth’s already talking to his lawyer about leaving his wife! That Nicole chick is bangin! 🔥🇺🇸👊

Guys, they’re not going to be batting 1000…. On anything. They’re going to be breaking A. LOT. of eggs, whilst not even trying to bat anywhere near 1000. That will be them doing their “best.”

The follow-on effect to all the headlines of what’s being cut is going to decimate some pretty important corners of the US economy. We’re all watching a country die here.

Texas about to outlaw social security as porn!

This really is the answer. The more services you add, the more of your attention they will require. Granted, for most services already integrated into the distro’s repo, the added admin overhead will likely be minimal, but it can add up. That’s not to say the admin overhead can’t be addressed. That’s why scripting and crons, among some other utilities, exist!

Hence the question! I mean I feel like he had a certain relevance in his prime. Every now and then he pops up shilling for some crazy right-wing cause… or as a Sheriff’s Deputy. Similar to Dr. Phil going out on ICE raids.

Right!? There was some weird stuff going on, and the way the show started was pretty solid. Did they even finish the first season?

I’ve never understood the notion the good “can’t exist” without evil. I think it’s more likely that good can’t be recognized without evil as a basis for comparison. That doesn’t mean good things can’t happen unless there’s evil out there. I think they would just be seen from a different frame of reference.

The death of American democracy!

Does Steven Seagal still fit here?

Dr. Phil?

Lots of really good ones here. I’ll add Flashforward.

I don’t, and I use it all the time. That said, I try to be mindful of context. For example, if I’m going to a party and someone texts saying to grab ice or something: 👍

Conversely, if someone is texting to say their dog died, or congratularions of a big achievement: !👍

Please, everyone forward this article to their senators and representatives. Explain to them that nobody expects them to be experts in all things, and that this article concisely explains why this bill is a Bad Idea.

I don’t have a top ten, lots of my favorites have already been mentioned, so I’ll add a few new ones:

• Arrested Development
• Community
• Sports Night
• This Old House (been watching since I was a kid)
• Black Mirror
• Battlestar Galactica

There are probably some more, but I can’t remember at the moment.

Y’all, it would make me ecstatic to be completely wrong with this hot take. I guess it’s a combination of my lack of faith in the citizenship to give enough of a shit, and my lack of faith in our government to listen.

TBH, this was one of the things the GOP has kind of right, but as is their way they go about it in all the wrong ways. Europe has relied on US troop presence since WWII, and it’s allowed them to find a balance between high-ish taxes and strong social safety nets. In the past couple decades, as things have gotten more expensive, cracks have formed in this arrangement. Now they need to actually meet their NATO commitments, and keep the people happy by maintaining the safety nets without raising taxes. Good luck with that! Oh, and they also have to do all of this with the growing popularity of far right nationalist movements across the continent! Good times are ahead for all!

EDIT: Sorry if I gave the impression that I think the US will benefit in any way from this arrangement. We are absolutely abdicating our place on the world stage by doing this. I was only talking about the European side of this. Continuing to see the US as a reliable ally is a lost cause, and any international leaders who don’t see this are in danger of a very rude awakening. Trump and his cronies have shown that they don’t value allies at all - only unceasing loyalty, and even that doesn’t guarantee anything. That demand devalues the sovereignty of the nations to whom they think they will be able to dictate terms! I fear the old saying “It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.” will haunt the US for more than a generation (not to say that all the US has done was good, but a lot of good was done). And to be clear, when I say “the US” I mean the entirety of the US. I never voted for Trump, but I’m included in that. Our voters and many/most of our leaders simply can no longer be counted on as allies by other free and democratic countries. At this point, I’m not even really looking forward to the midterm elections.

I can’t think of a more “American” thing than enlisting immigrants to make your fledgling country “great,” only to turn around and villainize them in an effort to make it great “again.”

Dude is just out right purchasing power at this point. Pretty soon, it will be “one world under Musk.”

Unfortunately it won’t. Too many people didn’t learn, and learn from, history. They’ll watch as their freedoms are eroded away in the name of “making America great,” and then cry about how everything got so bad as if they had nothing to do with it.
